Antioxidant loss in Hot-Water Polyolefin Pipes - Experimental Data and Modelling [PE]

 

Outstanding Applications

Plastic Pipes Conference Association # 1992 Eindhoven

Gedde, Smith, Ifwarson, Viebke

Polyolefin pipes subjected to extensive hoop stresses fail in a ductile manner (stage I). At lower stresses failure is brittle and may in certain cases be preceded by degradation of the polymer (stage 111). Reviewed in this paper are the changes in polymer structure and antioxidant concentration profiles preceding the stage I11 failure of hot water polyolefin pipes. A diffusionlreaction model for the antioxidant loss is presented and applied to a few selected cases.

The life of a stabilized polyolefin hot-water pipe may be divided into three phases denoted as Regimes A, B and C. Regimes A and B are characterized by different antioxidant consumption mechanisms. Regime C is defined as the time period from the stan of the thermooxidative attack on the polymer itself to the failure...
